Parking and Transportation

Info

Patients can be dropped off at the door of the N.C. Cancer Hospital. The driveway to do so is accessed by turning north onto Hospital Drive from Manning Drive, the street in front of the hospital complex.

Parking for patients and visitors is located in the Dogwood Parking Deck. There are entrances to the Dogwood Parking Deck from East Drive, across from the entrance to the Hospitals, and also from Mason Farm Road, at the far end of the parking deck. Parking in the Dogwood Deck is $1.50 per hour, for a maximum of $8 per day.

An $8 day pass can be purchased from the Parking Office on the 3rd floor of the Neurosciences Hospital if needed (this pass is most beneficial if you will be in and out of the parking deck several times during the course of one day). For additional questions, call the Cashier's Office at 919-966-4704.

Patients receiving radiation therapy will be given passes to park in a specially designated area next to the N.C. Cancer Hospital. Check with your nurse coordinator for more details.
